They are read by the X server at startup time only - you can't reload a
different one after logging in. On sparc, it chooses the layout by
mapping the keyboard layout reported by the keyboard using the mapping
in the keytable.map file - if you wanted to permanently change the
keyboard layout, you'ld have to edit that file to make it load a
different one.
